Overview

National Geographic Live! events feature entertaining and visually spectacular presentations by the world's leading explorers, scientists, photographers, and naturalists. Now available on DVD and enhanced by award-winning images, this volume showcases the dynamic live presentations by leading photographers Alexandra Avakian and Sam Abell.

Stunning courage and matchless skill with the camera are the twin hallmarks of Alexandra Avakian's fascinating career as a photojournalist who has spent two decades traveling the globe to document the culture of the Muslim world. For Windows of the Soul: My Journeys in the Muslim World, Avakian offers a timely portrait of a diverse culture where love, honor, and deep faith collide in a life-or-death conflict with intolerance and anger. From the Gaza Strip to war-torn Somalia to Uzbekistan, Avakian offers arresting images and fast-moving tales from inside the Muslim world.

In The Life of a Photograph, veteran National Geographic photographer Sam Abell offers a look inside the heart and mind of a master. His presentation allows the viewer to witness the innovative techniques and frame-by-frame process by which he has created his most stunning photographs.
